sutcliff_spaceWelcome to Sutcliff Monthly, a low-key, prompt-based challenge for all kinds of fan creations based on the works by Rosemary Sutcliff!

Each prompt is open for one month (circa 30 days), with a "grace"/"amnesty" period for late submissions (TBD).
To participate, you create any kind of fanwork for any kind of Sutcliff-related canon on your choice inspired by the monthly prompt and then submit it.
To win, you participate and submit. In the Sutcliff Monthly Challenge, every challenger is a winner!
Our purpose is to share the love for various themes and characters appearing in different Sutcliff works and to boost everyone's creative energy with a low-key, no-pressure challenge.

2. What can I create for the challenge?
Any kind of fanwork is eligible: fic (from classic drabbles to novel-length epics, if you will), art (simple sketches, detailed illustrations, photographed miniatures and installations, icons, mood themes and banners), craft (pies and their recipes, necklaces and other accessories), mixes (music selection or playlists to stream), et cetera.

Comment to the monthly post containing the prompt you created for with either a link to your creation or the creation itself.

If the round is closed, but the masterpost is not up, you can still submit your fanwork for that round via simple comment. If the masterpost is already up, you'll have the opportunity to submit your fanwork via comment during a special "grace"/"amnesty" period. It will be a special party for unexpected & belated works!
11. Behold! I am a glorious knight/gladiatrix who has successfully participated in ALL rounds of the Sutcliff Monthly Challenge all year. How do you celebrate my might and splendour?
Ave! Those who have participated in all monthly prompt rounds (either by posting something each month or by covering the missing monthly prompts during the special "grace"/"amnesty" period) shall be declared champions of the Sutcliff Monthly Challengeet cum iustis scribantur and we shall publicly glorify their names.

Date: 2017-04-05 07:39 pm (UTC)I have put together the challenge with great love, even though it is nowhere near as impressive as the famous Eagle Fanmedia Challenge, and even though no one, myself included, has found the time yet. I'm keeping all rounds open, though, and I just really want it to be there and available for Sutcliff fun. Promoting appreciated! Everything appreciated!
(Have you discussed in mod squad whether it might be worth it to migrate the ninth_eagle comm to DW and close the LJ one, in light of recent events? IDK.)
